Ikenga Ugochinyere, a federal lawmaker and
member of the PDP, has expressed concerns about
the conflict between Governor Sim Fubara and loyalists of former Governor Nyesom Wike
over the upcoming Rivers LGA elections.
In a live coverage by Arise TV from 17:24,
Ugochinyere said Nyesom Wike and his loyalists are allegedly attempting to
leverage their close relationship with President Tinubu to oust Governor Sim
Fubara from office. He said some Wike loyalists have taken legal steps to prevent
the LGA elections from taking place, even though they signed a peace accord at
the presidential villa where it was agreed that local government elections
should be conducted in Rivers.
In Ugochinyere’s words: “They want to keep
dropping the name of President Tinubu so that they can continue to use it to
attempt the impossible which is to sack Fubara from office. If not, how can you
sign a peace accord with the president that election must be held and now they
want to hold the election you go to court”
